It is a 5-day weekend but preferred to stay in Manila to avoid the crazy drive going out of town. Extended holiday break makes us crave for a beach trip but a seafood feast at Red Crab is just as great.

The Crab Maritess is a winner. It is priced at P220per/100g and we got a king crab at 1kg. A serving is good for 3-5pax. I can actually survive a meal with only its saucey garlic bits and rice.

Failed to take a snap of the Dampa Style Garlic and Butter Prawns as much as I forgot to use my utensils. Always better to devour seafood with bare hands. Good thing we are seated next to the wash area.

Other dishes we ordered is just average. We also tried vegetable sides: Tortang Talong (P235) and Laing sa Buko (P295).

Not worth a try. Garlic rice too salty. Laing too salty. Shrimp is almost overcooked. I could taste the lime in the Sweet and sour LapuLapu which tasted more like the normal oriental orange chicken dish (which I hate)

Service is great except when they did not consider there's only 2 of us dining, and we have 2 more viand, they gave us 900g Lapu-Lapu which cost us P1,800 for the LapuLapu alone. Certainly not worth it! Too late when I figured I should've instructed them of how small the fish should be, but as customers, the waiters should proactively confirm the size of the fish.
Oh well!

Being a seafood lover, this place always has a special place in my heart (or tummy, to be more appropriate). Renowned for their colorful and flavorful ways of cooking crabs, Red Crab still boasts of their exemplary quality, setting them apart from other synonymous restos. Their flagship Crab Maritess is one way to exemplify that, with the rich aroma and sauce bathing not only from the shell, but also to the inside. If crustaceans aren't your thing, other great Pinoy finds are also available here, such as their scrumptious Crispy Pata.

Malaysian Chili Crab for the win! I thought their P185/100grams was a bit pricey considering the smallest crab available was 800grams but it was soooo good! The kangkong goes well with the chili sweet sauce and they serve it all cracked already so you just need to put on the plastic bibs and eat! I also loved their Fried Tilapia with mango salsa P325 and Sinigang na salmon sa miso P335. Their dessert selection is also good with frozen Brazo on top of the list!

Not for the faint of heart when it comes to the bill. Not your ordinary alimango house because it's crazy expensive. We ordered Raymund's Salt & Pepper Crab, Malaysian Crab, shrimp & vegetable rice, adobong kangkong, and drinks. We didn't know that the crab we ordered was 900g each, the price was Php155/100grams, and we ordered 2 crabs so do the math. But in fairness to the taste, it was really good. But still, the price will give you a mini-heart attack. Oh well, charge to experience.

I didn't get to take a photo of my favorite dish Crab Maritess because the family devoured it within seconds lol.

That's my Taiwanese cousin holding a whopping 1.8kg crab! They don't have crabs in Taiwan as fat as this one so she was pretty amused. They said their crabs are just the teeny tiny ones. But to be honest, even I was surprised at the gigantic crab, my initial reaction was 'Holy crab!'

Crab maritess is one of their house specialty, it's crab in olive oil and lots of fried garlic. Order a plain rice and mix the olive oil and garlic in. Mmmm my favorite! I really don't like eating crabs because I'm lazy but with crab maritess, I would use my non existing strength to crack the crab open and do whatever it takes to get the crab meat out!!! Uuuurgh! Good thing though, The Red Crab's crab are really fat so it's worth your money and effort.
